Raphinha

Amazing player

brilliant player, think we all saw what a level above he was when he signed for us.

hats to have our recruitment there.. got this that one right at the very least

when you think over the years though, we've had some amazing players at Leeds... imagine some of them playing together?!

Yeboah Cantona for example... add Raphinha in there thats better than any forward line I can think of

in fact I'm guna add Viduka in there for a bit classical champ manager.......

Raphinha------------- Viduka -------------------------Yeboah

----------------------- Cantona -----------------------------

I'd obviously have Dallas, Bamford, Beckford, Kandol, Smith, Kewell, Fowler, Keane, Rush on the bench for some cover

Raphinha is great and obviously an elite player, but I do think we tend to rewrite history in terms of how good he was on a consistent basis that last season.

He went missing for a very large chunk of that final season, and only really turned back up at Brentford……albeit when it mattered.

Again, a top, top player and I loved him…..but he was poor for long periods

I don’t think anyone on this thread is saying he was consistently brilliant for us but that his quality was obvious and now it’s showing even more since he moved to Barca.

He’s just a very very good player and he played for us. In fact I think Bielsa helped make him what he is - although he has natural ability for sure.

Mind you Bielsa improved a lot of players didn’t he?
